Happy Labor Day! This update is coming to you one day late, but better late than never, right?

This is not something I recommend for anyone starting or early on their weight loss journey, but this week I actually started weighing in daily. Now that I am dealing with this plateau, I thought it would be interesting to see how my weight is fluctuating during the week. I plan on doing this for a few weeks and then sharing the results. Ok, here are this week's numbers...

Weekly Progress Numbers

Weight:

Starting Weight: 350 lbsLast week's weight: 242.4 lbs

This week's weight: 241.0

This week's loss: 1.4 lbsTotal Weight Loss: 109.0 (31.0%)

Body Fat %:

Last Week: 25.1 %

This Week: 24.9 %

Difference: - .2

Waist Measurement: (At Belly Button)

Last Week: 42.0 "

This Week: 42.0 "

Difference: 0

Note: I am measuring right at the belly button with no slack and I am not "sucking in" at all. My current pants size is a 36 or 38 waist, but my official measurement is higher on the widest part of my waist.

I still haven't broken out of the 240s, but I am feeling good about where I am.

Yesterday, I implemented my first "high carb" day in since I've started on my ketosis journey. This included a baked potato, corn chips, and some all natural gelato. I've heard from various sources that this may be beneficial for weight loss, as long as it doesn't lead down a slippery slope!

Now, I plan on getting back into ketosis as quick as possible to see how this will affect my weight loss. The daily weigh-ins will help me track exactly what this is doing to my weight. Stay tuned next Sunday for an update on this.
